Q: I have a capital gain this year from PHO. I have never realized a capital loss in my lifetime. If I sell a losing position next year before my taxes are due (before April 30th) am I allowed to use that 2022 loss and apply it against my 2021 gain? Or do I need to sell a losing position in 2021 to apply it to the gain in 2021?

To pay no capital gains tax on PHO, do I need to sell a stock that has a loss amount EQUAL to the gain amount of PHO?

Thank you

Q: GFL today announced that certain of its shareholders (the "Selling Shareholders") intend to offer for sale 12,658,228 subordinate voting shares (the "Shares"). GFL will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares (the "Offering"). J.P. Morgan will act as underwriter for the Offering.
GFL did a similar offering on April 23, 2021 for 17,500,00. Should this be a concern, or is this normal for relatively new and growing company?
Thanks

Q: 1) One of the reasons I bought LSPD was due to a large ownership position by the Caisse De Depot Et Placement Du Quebec. If they dump their position then I will as well. Have they sold during the past six months, including during the recent share price decline?

2) I'm OK with a valuation reset as part of a long term fundamental growth trajectory. The stock is now broken. In your opinion, is the company's business and future prospects broken as well?

Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter,

If one wants to own just one North American stock in the digital payment space, which one would you recommend? And if two, which would be the other one? Would there be enough differentiation or a low correlation to justify having two stocks in a portfolio?
In a similar vein, could you give me your recommendations (excluding GSY) in the lending/credit space?
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Rajiv
